I’ve got one I’m doing some custom work to. I’ve machined off all the bosses in the valley. Bored it out to 4.125 Glad to see how the front of this bolts together. I just bought a bare block that came from a core supplier. Going back with the stock crank but using some aftermarket rods. I’m also using LS3 heads so I’ve got LS 3 pistons as well. I’m just not up to the direction injection at this time. Plan on doing more work to these going forward. Thanks for the help with the brackets as well.
Dang you got a crazy build going ! Thanks for the comment and for watching, please like subscribe and share, check out some of our other videos ! Have a great 2024.
I just got my 3500 with the 6.6, it's doing good so far. Since you are experienced with the L8T, can you say if it has piston oil squirters/coolers ? I can find images of an empty block , but no good ones looking directly into the belly of the block with the crank still installed.
@@-Primer- no problem all the Gen V LT have them except for the L84 so far that I have seen , unless you get a re worked machined block , like a stroker motor. Depending on the stroke the oil squirters would have been modified or even deleted.
I just bought a 3 mile L8T for a customer’s Jeep LT swap. Wants a bigger cam put in it. This sounds like my only option without doing a custom grind. I’ll have to find the specs on this cam. Great video guys!!
Yes nothing on the market yet I imagine it’s because of the stroke difference between the 6.2 and the 6.6 , also not many people running the 6.6 vs the 6.2 and 5.3 so it would be a smaller market. Thanks for watching have a great weekend
@@JustCantSitStillthere's some twins running in 91 Cyclone on 1320 videos right now with that 6.6 with a set of Ls heads assembled to it making around 1000hp I think he did good Drag Racing for no prep
@@shawnlibby675 I have seen LT heads on a LS but not the opposite, the LT flow much better I wonder way they went the opposite? Maybe to build boost faster?
Cool, yeah would like to know increase over stock. These heads already flow 400+. Maybe a mild bowl and throat to 90% and gasket match would net a little more but petes sake 400 already. This begs for some type of boost.
Yep the heads on the Gen5 LT’s are great 👍, these engines don’t need much at all to make plenty of power ! Thanks buddy for watching please subscribe like and share.

The 4 bolts with plastic inserts line the pump up where it needs to be, once the pan bolts & plastic inserts are in there is no movement, the pan pick up oring takes care of the seal.
Thanks for the comment and for watching we got a few L83 on the road running LT4, LT5, 6.2 cams and they have not had any issues. That being said we always recommend spring and trunnion upgrades but it not always in everyone’s budget. Not a huge difference in lift from the l8t cam to the LT5, .502/.494 to .551/.524 This particular engine was supposedly getting an LT4 supercharger and will probably be a trailer queen anyway.

Was it a good power boost for the truck and how did it sound afterwards did it increase the volume? I have a 2022 6.6l l8t I’ve been looking to do a cam swap for more power and so it can sound nice as hell riding by hahah
Not sure this one from what I know has not been fired up just yet. I don’t imagine it would have too much of a different sound than stock. A lot of the motors we build we never get to see the end result. Thanks for watching!
Nice work, quick question I got 6.6 L8T block wanna install a custom grind cam in it, does it have to be specific for the L8T or any gen 5 custom cam work?
That is a great question as no off the shelf cams are listed for the L8T 6.6 , theoretically the block is the same so a 6.2 cam would be good to go however with the increase stroke of the L8T you may run into clearance problems. Long as you do your homework and definitely check push rod lengths needed you should be ok. I would definitely contact Texas Speed and speak with them too. @texasspeed A lot of people are running the 6.6 cam in the 6.2 as a cheap DoD delete.
Would the 6.6 rotating assembly , crank, rods and pistons swap into the 6.2 l86 aluminum block? And are all of the LT cylinder heads interchangeable? 5.3, 6.2 and 6.6 heads swap around on different Lt shortblocks? I'm very interested in this Gen V LT series! I have always played with the Gen 1 SBC and never touched an LS. I'm thinking of doing a swap in my old pickup, but wanna go straight to the Gen V LTs! So fascinated with these engines now!
The 6.6 block has a longer cylinder wall because of the longer stroke of the 6.6 , so I am not sure if it would be a stock of stock swap. The heads are different as the combustion chamber are smaller larger etc, the LT4 heads have titanium intake valves and also more intake bolt holes to accommodate the supercharger. Hope that helps I am definitely not a expert in all the differences. Thanks for watching we appreciate you, please subscribe and check out some of our other videos.
We have done a lot of LS builds before I was videoing TH-cam , we have just about stopped doing the LS unless someone brings one in that’s complete and not missing everything and is not a piece of crap. We prefer the LT’s to us they are superior builds and make a lot of power stock.
all heads are interchangeable in respect to bore, the 6.6l heads are rumoured to be as good as lt1 heads, your l86 or any other aluminum block is going to need a bore out and extended sleeves. hell you can put ls heads and intake on an gen v lt block with a dowel swap kit. Lil bits and pieces I have picked up from vendors and builders so far on this performance monster of an engine.
We research on the google, a few good sources are available on the internet. It does get a bit taxing to remember them all. Quite a few specs carry over from the LS platform we had done over 100 LS motors before I started the channel. Thanks again buddy for watching.
@@JustCantSitStill Unless they couldn't get it tuned...or something else. I've got an L8T on the shelf waiting for a chassis and am looking for combos.
Would that lt5 cam be good to run in a 15 Tahoe with a single turbo cause I already run e85 and have the l86 intake and throttle body also could.i bolt.up a 10 transmission
The lt5 cam is a great choice for stock and getting rid of the DOD , a 10 speed would bolt up with the proper flywheel but your wiring harness would have to be completely redone
Saves money 💰and with the L8T you don’t have to worry with changing DoD lifters. So it makes a good budget option for someone not looking to spend extra on head bolts, gaskets, lifters etc
99% of our cam swaps are done on 5.3 or 6.2 LT with DoD so it was a great time to do this on a 6.6 to show people the option. A lot of subscribers are interested in the L8T so I try to show what I can and give information if I can. From what I could tell when searching @youtube we where the first to video on a 6.6 lt5 cam upgrade.

The LT5 has the *smallest* intake lobe of any gen V engine. a stage 1 blower cam would make a ton more power.

You need to change those valve springs..stock lt1-lt5 are the same and will work..unfortunately the l8t and 5.3 share the same weaker spring
